Sour Lentils with a Fried Egg

Step-by-step method

Let’s cook

At a glance

This comforting Czech dish combines tender sour lentils with a crispy fried egg on top—a family favorite that's simpler than it sounds. Most of the time goes into soaking and simmering the lentils, while the actual hands-on work (stirring in cream and vinegar, crisping the onion, and frying an egg) comes together quickly at the end.

  1. 1/5

    Soak the lentils in advance

    Don't forget to soak the lentils the day before. The next day, drain off the water and rinse the lentils thoroughly.

  2. 2/5

    Cook the lentils until tender and season

    Cover the soaked and rinsed lentils with fresh water and simmer until tender. If there's still excess water left once they're soft, drain it off. Season with salt and pepper and stir well.

  3. 3/5

    Stir in the sour cream and season with vinegar

    Stir in the sour cream and taste. If it's not tangy enough for you, add a splash of vinegar at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition.

About this recipe

I've loved this dish since I was a kid. Whether it's with an egg or a fried sausage, it's always been my favourite - and it still is today. I love making it for my own kids, and I like to think that one day they'll be cooking it for their own families too.
